Gemstone

Story

Necklaces of solid clear rock crystal quartz orbs are known as “pools of light”. These polished spheres possess the optical quality of rotary polarization – when you look at an object through the crystal, the image will appear upside down or reversed.

The Chinese believe that good luck resides in the inner recesses of these rock crystal orbs. Anyone can see why as the spheres refract, reflect and have an overall captivating appeal. They pick up colors from all their surrounding, so in our photos against white, look clear or a bit gray from some angles, but on the skin or other hues, can take on a rainbow of guises.

True “pools of light” are never drilled but are wrapped. This necklace uses delicate strands of coin silver with floral motifs and smaller rounds of crystal of 12 mm (1/2 of an inch) which makes this lighter overall and comfortable to wear. Luxuriously long at 31-1/4 inches!
